Eight years ago, the Canon 5D II hit the streets, and it took the industry by storm, not only for being an excellent stills camera but because it could record professional-grade 1080P video too.

As soon as some digital cameras are released, they make shockwaves through the industry, and they forever go down as instant classics, and then there are some that slip through the cracks.

I've been in this industry long enough to remember all the times where Nikon users would push their bias into the face of every other photographer. At those times, they rightfully should have. Does anyone remember the Nikon D300 and the fantastic photos it shot of President Obama during his early years? Or the Nikon D700 and the class-leading high ISO output that it had? Or what about the various more top-end cameras like the D4, the D800, etc. thephoblographer.com »
